Did you had problems getting to run the game in the first place?

Same thing is happening to me, everything is smooth until like the second tunnel into the train ride where it goes into loading

No problems at all, I just installed Steam, downloaded the engine needed (from link in this forum), but BMS into folder and run it. And this happened everytime, I tried to restart the game and steam three times, but always it stucks after train ride.

Having the same problem

Good news, i suppose.

The problem is Windows 8 and the fact that Steam software needs to write in Program Files folder. I solved it by running Steam as administrator, but I suppose when you install Steam you could place it somewhere else than C:\Program Files folder.

I guess when someone is running Win7 on user/guest account, it could end up with same issue.

Hi…I can’t solved the problem, I got windows xp 32 bits…Please Help,
The menu options don’t work also,
